wHAT KELP ARE YOU BUYING TO PUT IN? I KNOW A COMPOST THAT HAS KELP IN IT, THIS MIGHT WORK AS WELL??

 

[americano56]

You never had a problem with burning your plants using this tea pure? Ever tried putting nettle in the mix, i hear it is good for so many things...lots of calcium ect....

No, that will not be a substitute. You want kelp meal.

Oh yes, pure teas can burn the hell out of your plant. I've heard nettle is good as well, but I've got my teas worked out and don't want to fuss them more.

Would this be fine.. Peruvian seabird guano 12-11-2, bat guano bat guano 10-3-1, and soluble kelp extract. I'm trying to get something for when they're vegging.. Why does everyone add black strap molasses to the mix?

 

[Torched]

The Molasses feeds the benifical bacteria you are brewing, you'd leave it out if you are making a fungal dominate tea. For Veg you can try fish hydrolase, or alfalfa meal.

 

[Mr Piggy]

it also provides calcium and magnesium in appropriate ratios. I need more info to help you mrjones. How much of each are you using? Again, you want kelp meal, not extracts. Substitution isn't that great but torch was right about alfalfa meal, that stuff is great and a lot of people are starting to use it instead of kelp.

I've been reading and found something cheaper. What I'm trying to do is get everything I need for veg and flowering stage now so I'm ready for whenever but I'm dropping $50 on this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002TCC46U/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER <---pump

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00564Q784/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_3?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER <---2 air stones to run two buckets at once

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002AQI9K/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_4?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER <---tubing

If someone could confirm that these would work well that'd be cool :thumbs:

I've already spent near a thousand dollars (minus a couple hundred) but still that was this year in a couple months idk what you guys spend but that's a lot of money to me at this time. I just want to achieve the absolute best medical that I can grow and the more I read the more I spend lol so I was going to go with this route and save a few bucks..
